The Travelling Stamp
In the words of W.B. Yeats, “stamps are the silent ambassadors on national taste.”
A quick look at the travelling display curated by Washington, D.C.'s Smithsonian Institution: "The Art of the Stamp," provides decades of excellent design for a mere process of moving packages from one door to another.
The exhibit highlights art behind the postage Americans attach to their mail. The art work in the exhibit's eight sections features examples from the American story, American heroes and legends, the American scene, nature, technology and transportation, arts and entertainment, and sports and athletics.
From the 2,000 art works owned by the U.S. Postal Deparment, 94 were selected for this traveling exhibit.
